Song of My Own Truth

My style of song is country music. I began my love of music at age three, while memorizing countless country and rock songs. I took up piano around the age of eight. I started writing poetry and songs when I was twelve-years-old, as well as picked up guitar at fifteen after hearing Keith Urban on the radio. I also took up violin at the age of twenty-one. I have always hoped to collaborate with someone in songwriting. Writing songs is my way of life. True music has always given me meaning for life.

The most meaningful interests of my life include: my daughter, Keira Lynn, writing my own songs, as well as singing from my soul. Music has always been the first love of my life, specifically, country music. The day Keira was born she proved, to me, that love truly is beautiful.

I have always been a songwriter and a poet, as well as a singer at heart. I can spend hours on end just sitting and writing and picking guitar or messing around on the piano/keyboard. The sound of a violin/fiddle just strikes my heart down to my soul, which is why I took up the violin at the age of twenty-one. My daughter, Keira, gives me reason to live this life every day. I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, MG, an autoimmune muscle weakness disease, in July of 2011. Keira is such an inspiration to me, making me not want to give up, even when I get so weak. She is my song that lingers into hope. Keira will always continue to be the song of my whole life.

Song is personal –Jenn

I am huge into writing my own songs (mainly a lyricist, while picking around with chords on guitar or putting some notes together on keys on the piano/keyboard or the violin/fiddle). I have been writing for several years and have taken two-and-a-half years of voice and guitar lessons. I just have never found exactly where to place my music. I always keep the hope and the prayer that success may be within the next page of my life.

“As I was singing, tonight, I felt so much power in my voice. God, I thank you for my dedicated love of song, for my immense compassion for music…Because no matter what, music has always truly been my home.” (April 16, 2019)
